The Hold Steady‘s classic third album, Boys and Girls in America, turns 20 this year, and they recently announced dates and cities for the celebrations. They’ve now revealed full details for the spring dates of Constructive Summer 2026.

The Chicago shows are on June 11-13, with a seated “Storytellers Set” at Thalia Hall on June 11, a rock show at Empty Bottle on June 12, and an all-day outdoor show at Salt Shed Fairgrounds on June 13 with Built to Spill, Bully, and Titus Andronicus.

The Boston shows are on April 30-May 3 at The Sinclair, with full rock shows on days one through three and a matinee Storytellers Set on May 3.

Portland and Seattle are on August 7-9, and details will be announced later this month. There are also NYC dates on December 2-5, which presumably coincide with their annual Massive Nights run. Stay tuned and see all dates below.
